Next Friday

Comedian Mike Epps made his way from the stand up scene to the acting world and got his first break as Chris Tucker’s replacement in the Friday series. Epps played Day-Day in Next Friday, alongside rapper Ice Cube. “I made a joke, making people think that I was upset [about constantly being referred to as my character, Day-Day],” said Epps. “But, really, I love that people remember me for such a classic film.”
